When we handle commercial pressure washing for eifs (synthetic stucco) in California, it comes down to three things: protecting your plants and property, cleaning with the right method, and walking the job with you at the end. With eifs (synthetic stucco), the right approach is soft wash.
The right method for the job

Cleaning eifs (synthetic stucco) safely

Avoid: Any high pressure, which can tear the finish coat or drive water into the wall system.
How often: Every 1-2 years.

Commercial Pressure Washing for EIFS (Synthetic Stucco) in California
Commercial properties in California need sidewalks, entrances and dumpster areas cleaned regularly, with wash water kept out of storm drains to meet local stormwater rules.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.
Some cities in California limit outdoor water use, including washing hard surfaces with a hose, especially during drought declarations. Pressure washers use far less water than an open garden hose, but rules vary, so it's worth checking your city's current restrictions. Wash water should also be kept out of storm drains.
